Derek: Part 1

First off, I would just like to say that I did reach 1,000 views last Friday! Shout-out to all my Diamonds for the support! I don't exactly know why, but you all seem to love my blog! So thanks!

Anyways, even though I views those 1,000 views as a total blessing, it's kind of a curse on my part...

Because now I have to do my "1,000-views post!" Which is weird for me because I don't exactly know how to begin this one... simply because I usually only share personal details about myself if someone asks. Then again, most of you have been asking...

So I am going to talk about what went on this summer for me, since I have been kind of hinting at it for a while...

I met this boy originally over spring break, but I didn't really get to know him until this past summer. His name is Derek, the first time I ever met him I was carrying three giant boxes, so I couldn't see in front of me, that's when my boss decided to introduce us. I remember her words perfectly "This is Phoebe, she's the one behind all of these boxes." I remember the first time I heard him laugh, I smiled immediately, even though he couldn't see it.

However, I didn't see his face until the next day. That's when I knew I liked him, he wasn't an abercrombie model, he wasn't one of those boys all the girls secretly have a crush on, he was just an everyday average hipster. He wasn't exactly fond of it when I called him that, but I always did.

We didn't keep in touch after Spring break, but when I went back for the summer I was a different person from when I saw him last.

This time when I saw him I was heartbroken from a recent run-in with Dick. Derek, however, being the sweetheart that he is knew just how to cheer me up, he took me out to lunch while everyone else was in a meeting. He just made me laugh and smile, and suddenly Dick was a thing of the past! Dick who?

After my few short days at the job Derek and I began emailing each other back and forth. I would sit on my laptop for hours waiting for his emails while I took quizzes on Seventeen.com. After a day or two of emailing each other like crazy, we came upon the idea that we should "date." Now I say "date" because we knew that because we went to different schools a long-distance relationship wouldn't work out, so we figured by the time summer was coming to an end we would break-up, and hats what was agreed, and that's what happened.

Now, I'm not going to go into a huge bunch of detail about all of the dates and things we did on my blog, simply because I would go on and on and no one wants to hear about that.

Oh! By the way, simply telling you all of this wasn't my 1,000 reads thing!

I recently got his number off of my friends cell phone, she had his number because he was one of her coworkers. I told another friend of mine, Alice, about it. She was begging my to call him, so I promised her that after I reached 1,000 views on my blog I would call him.

Now I haven't called him yet, simply because I haven't had any alone time since my blog reached 1,000 views, and I need alone time because I don't want to be talking to this boy and have my mom knock on the door yelling "Phoebe! You forgot to pick up your towel off of the bathroom floor!"

I would die if he heard my mother say that to me. Especially since I haven't seen him in three months.

OK Diamonds, I know lots of you will be freaking out tomorrow asking me why I didn't tell you all of this before, but I want you to stay calm. I will answer all of your questions- within reason.

And wish me luck for my phone call! Whenever that may be...
